Review: This is easily the most over-rated movie I have ever seen in my life. I went to it with very high expectations given all the amazing reviews. I found the movie to be extremely trite, cliché, over-wrought, boring, pretentious and too long. The movie basically rests on the gimmick of filming the same actors for 12 years. Take that away, and the movie is nothing but one cliché scene after another. So if youre in to seeing people kinda slowly age/grow up, then this movie will blow you away, because thats basically all that it offers. If you are looking for a good engaging story, Im afraid this does not have it.
